**What's a fortyish woman to do if...**

Her free-spirited elderly mom's moving*in*, her previously do-gooder teenage daughter's sneaking* out*, her prize-winning stud bulldog can't get it *on* and her soon-to-be ex-husband can't get his mind *off* girls half his age?

A. have nervous breakdown

B. run away

C. eat massive quantities of ice cream

D. see a counselor

CiCi Dupree chooses. She doesn't have time for a breakdown, can't afford to run away and she *is* a counselor.
